Bush joins the "War against Christmas"
From Crooks and Liars:
During his end-of-year press conference this morning, President Bush joined with “secular progressives” in the right wing’s contrived War on Christmas, wishing reporters a “Happy Holidays.” Watch it:
Bill O’Reilly and Focus on the Family have been waging an aggressive campaign to pressure people to use “Merry Christmas.” In the past, O’Reilly has argued that saying “Happy Holidays” to people “absolutely does” offend Christians.
This latest affront is part of George and Laura’s three-year assault on Christmas. Bill, looks like you may have prematurely declared mission accomplished.

I'm glad you posted this. I am so infuriated with the lack of Christmas this Christmas. I used to get so sick and tired of hearing "deck the halls" etc. in the TV commercials; and now you wouldn't even know it's Christmas.
I pay particular attention to the commercials, and I would say that only about 15% of them mention Christmas and/or play Christmas music. The rest of them play mundane "holiday" music, and tell you about the "holiday" savings.
Some people think I'm crazy to care, but to me, it is important. It's our heratige, and should be passed through the generations.
So, it's not ok to have a Christmas vacation, but it's ok to celebrate Kwanzaa?
Why would a so called religious president want to join the "war on Christmas"??? All I can think of is because it has the word "war" in it.
I don't understand why it matters. I'm so tired of hearing about the "war on christmas".
Bah Humbug!
